Need help with progress bar Snyp27-Jul-03 3:31 Snyp 27-Jul-03 3:31  I'm not new to programming but new to progress bars and I would like to know how to use it (using the default class for it) not some other class. I would appreciate it if anyone replied [It is possible to represent everything in this universe by using 0 and 1] I'm going to live forever or die trying. Re: Need help with progress bar User 665827-Jul-03 3:42 User 6658 27-Jul-03 3:42  Do you use MFC oder plain API? I case of MFC: Drag a progress bar from the controls toolsbot to your dialog to place it there. Next, create a variable for the CProgressCtrl e.g. using the Class Wizard. If your variable is named e.g. "m_ctlProgress", you need to set some attributes, you can do this in OnInitDialog(): // set the range m_ctlProgress.SetRange(0, 100) // or m_ctlProgress.SetRange(1, 255) you can then set the postion of the blue bar with m_ctlProgress.SetPos(128); see MSDN for more information. regards modified 12-Sep-18 21:01pm. Need help saving.... Snyp27-Jul-03 3:19 Snyp 27-Jul-03 3:19  Can anyone tell me how to save from a dialog not a SDI or MDI but Dialog. You know like putting a variable into it or several into a specified external file and opening it. Need Details since I'm kinda new to saving/serializing [It is possible to represent everything in this universe by using 0 and 1] I'm going to live forever or die trying. Re: Need help saving....

Can't remember whether you have to close the file after or if MFC takes care of that for you when you serialize, so I left it off. Re: Need help saving....

Hyperthreading ColinDavies27-Jul-03 0:56 ColinDavies 27-Jul-03 0:56  Is hyperthreading anything to get excited about. XP is meant to support it, so I was wondering if in future apps that I make that are CPU intensive should I consider an architecture that can be modified to use it? If so, I guess I'm on another learning curve.

As wb (below) suggests their could be some problems. A threaded app may actually end up running slower on a hyperthreaded CPU. What I am looking for is some sort of a guideline as to what would cause said bottlenecks to occur. Possibly it appears that hyperthreading is really more use at the multitasking rather than multithreading. I envisage that you could set up one set of guidelines for the current XEON processor, and then with the next generation the rules will have changed. Really I must get a hyperthreaded CPU to run my own tests, and try to create the bottlenecks. At the moment my interest is more academic then anything else.

Re: Hyperthreading ColinDavies27-Jul-03 22:40 ColinDavies 27-Jul-03 22:40  What you are saying makes sense to me. HT must have a cost, and at some stage there will be a bad return on usage. I guess it would be possible to spawn countless threads to find where this happened. There are now 3 Levels of cache, and I guess one must hold the main mapping of activity. I actually think hyperthreading is quite exciting, its a bit like a brain having its own smaller brain to control itself.

Windows 2000 Service 2. A MFC dialog based GUI application to configure the service. I am communicating between Service and GUI app through file mapping. The problem is service part has created the file and weh GUI app tries to access the file, I am getting error "Access is denied". Is there any right conflict between system process (service) and user process(GUI app). I am logged through "Administrator". Any urgent help is neeeded. regards. Re: Difference between System process and Administrator process Michael Dunn27-Jul-03 0:50 Michael Dunn 27-Jul-03 0:50  When you create the file mapping object, you need to specify a DACL -- the LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES parameter that you usually leave NULL to use the default DACL. The trouble with that is that the default DACL for code running as the system account is highly secured, to prevent tampering by other processes. You'll need to create a DACL that grants access to your admin account, or the admins group. --Mike-- Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber aef392rDFA#@(#*@%@#$Rfa39f3fqwf--= NO CARRIER Re: Difference between System process and Administrator process Hashim Saleem27-Jul-03 1:15 Hashim Saleem 27-Jul-03 1:15  Thank you very much. But can you give here an example of creating our own DACL to grant access to admin account or is there any article regarding this on this forum? Thanks Hashim Saleem Re: Difference between System process and Administrator process Michael Dunn27-Jul-03 2:10 Michael Dunn 27-Jul-03 2:10  I only know that DACLs are bloody cumbersome to deal with.

I have worked on vc for around 2 years. Sometimes i face very weird bug, and spend several hours to check it but find all logical is correct. After i try rebuild all, all bugs disappear. Today i meet this problem again (i just change a #define). Would you please tell me when we should rebuild all the project? Why there is such weird bug? Thanks! Re: rebuild all? novachen26-Jul-03 22:52 novachen 26-Jul-03 22:52  In my feel, the misfunction project work like some part be refreshed(by my edit) and some others are still old state. Doesn't visual studio check the date and their depend relation? Re: rebuild all? Beer2627-Jul-03 5:03 Beer26 27-Jul-03 5:03  pretty sure visual cpp will only build what it considers to be old files when you build, then relinks. sometimes it misses files that were modified, and simply links the old object files. to answer your question, rebuild all when it doesn't work, and you have to. SYSTEMTIME question YaronNir26-Jul-03 22:27 YaronNir 26-Jul-03 22:27  Hi all, This was taken from the MSDN: "It is not recommended that you add and subtract values from the SYSTEMTIME structure to obtain relative times. Instead, you should 1) Convert the SYSTEMTIME structure to a FILETIME structure. 2) Copy the resulting FILETIME structure to a ULARGE_INTEGER structure. 3) Use normal 64-bit arithmetic on the ULARGE_INTEGER value. " ..... i have the local time stored in SYSTEMTIME format. i've done 1+2. now i have an __int64 to store the SYSTEMTIME. i want to add a week (7 days) to this ularge_integer....how do i do that? does the _int64 represents the number of seconds till today??? can any1 help? thanks in advanced Yaron Re: SYSTEMTIME question Michael Dunn26-Jul-03 22:35 Michael Dunn 26-Jul-03 22:35  A FILETIME holds 100 ns intervals, ie adding 1 to a FILETIME increases the time by 10-7 seconds. So 7 days = 10000000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 --Mike-- Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber aef392rDFA#@(#*@%@#$Rfa39f3fqwf--= NO CARRIER Re: SYSTEMTIME question YaronNir27-Jul-03 4:41 YaronNir 27-Jul-03 4:41  thanks i also discovered (based on experiment only) that whilst using SYSTEMTIME (without converting to FILETIME) adding 1400 to the higher value of the DWORD will do the trick for me.... i guess in a math way 1400 related to the 10000000x60x60x24x7 somehow thanks again for reply Yaron Re: SYSTEMTIME question YaronNir27-Jul-03 4:45 YaronNir 27-Jul-03 4:45  wooooppppssss sorry what i ment to say is to add the 1400 to the higher value of the FILETIME as follows: SYSTEMTIME st; FILETIME ft; GetLocalTime(&st); SystemTimeToFileTime(&st,&ft); ft.dwHighDateTime += 1400;// adding the 7 days i think your way was to work on the ULARGE_INT i.e __int64 i.e: __in64 uli; memcpy(&uli,&ft,sizeof(uli)); uli += 10000000x60x60x24x7; and then convert it again to FILETIME with memcpy: memcpy(&ft,&uli,sizeof(ft)); am i correct?

I find in vs.net impossible to use user defined type for function parameter. In the COM function i declare some user defined type. for example typedef unsigned char d8u; in vc6, i only need include a header descriping d8u in the idl file. But in vs.net, i create a ATL control, find the idl file is dynamic generated when you compile it. Not a static file as in vc6 that you can edit it manually. And it will never include the header i need, so there are always error of shorting of such type. Why vs.net take this solution? is there any place i can make midl to include the header? I have blocked there for 2 days. If there isn't a good solution i have to reinstall vc6 to work. sigh... Any idea,pals?
